Franchise Guides for UK Business Owners
Practical guides to franchising your business, written by people who have done it.
Whether you are exploring franchising for the first time or getting ready to recruit, these guides explain what is involved at each stage. They draw on our own experience of building and franchising a business, and on the work we now do with clients.
Guides for every stage
Start wherever you are. Each guide stands on its own.
Why we share what we know.
Plenty of consultancies keep their methods to themselves. We would rather show you what franchising involves, so you can decide what to do yourself and where specialist help is worth paying for.
Questions you might have
Do I need to register to read the guides?
No. Every guide is open to read, with no registration. We earn our living from our franchise consultancy, not from keeping information back.
How are the guides different from your consultancy?
The guides explain what needs to be done and why it matters. Our consultancy is the how: we either do the work for you or guide you through it. Think of the guides as education and the consultancy as getting it done.
Do I need to be ready to franchise to use them?
No. They cover every stage, from exploring the idea to recruiting franchisees, so start wherever you are.
Can I franchise my business myself?
Some businesses can do a lot of it themselves. Most benefit from specialist help at the critical stages, such as financial modelling, the legal framework and territory planning. The guides show what is involved, so you can decide what to do in-house and where to bring us in.
